Summary

A power outage can be devastating to a community. North Bay, Ontario has experienced outages in the past, but none as significant as the one caused by an ice storm which left the city crippled without power for a week. North Bay Hydro developed a microgrid to power a community resiliency hub. Within the hub are several buildings which are utilized by local community members and serve as a place of refuge when necessary.
